Bomb Blasts In Canada
(N.Z Press Assn. —Copyright) MONTREAL, June 1.
A wave of bombing attacks occurred in the wealthy, Eng-lish-speaking Canadian city iof Westmount yesterday in the first serious outbreak of violence since the Quebec election on April 28, in which secession was a key issue.
Three persons were injured yesterday when five bombs exploded in the city before dawn.
Later, a bomb squad defused a sixth bomb found unexploded on the slopes of Mount Royal, in the heart of the city. The most extensive damage was caused by a bomb at the rear of the Financial Collection Association. The entire glass wall of the modern building was buckled by the I explosion. In a letter printed by two French-language daily newspapers last week, the Front de Liberation Quebecois [claimed responsibility for the I blast last week that caused [extensive damage to the Board of Trade building in Montreal.
